NBVC Robotics Nights turn kids’ brains on to science

If you say to your 8-year-old, “You want

Seabees show how to extract vehicles during Panther Claw

Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3 re-
cently participated in Panther Claw 3, an
international exercise that showcased mul-

Panther Claw is an exercise where re-
gional and local commanders demonstrate
vehicle extraction capabilities by lifting
and towing large pieces of equipment that
are simulated to be stuck in the mud or
hit by improvised explosive devices.
The ultimate goal of a recovery is for
military units to return disabled or dam-
aged vehicles back to a unit in a usable
state while preventing enemy forces from
acquiring sensitive equipment and using
it against coalition forces.
The exercise this year featured equip-

“He didn’t get on one knee because he
was already on both of them,” Foster said
with a laugh.
